How do you determine such things?
I see more and more people wanting to get away from Perl because they see
what Common Lisp can do to application development. Maybe that's because
I'm a Common Lisp programmer who argues that Perl solutions are ad hoc
and need to recoded in a real programming language if they are going to
be maintained. Management types seem to accept this line, not just where
I work, but where friends and colleagues work, too. World-wide, it also
seems interest in Lisp is increasing. You can see that by the number of
people who come to Lisp fora only to kick the language. At least they
have heard of it and find it threatening enough to fight. That's a start.
